Bruce Willis’s family facing tragic new health battle as daughter struggles

The Willis family has gone through a lot during these past months, and their struggles are far from over.

Ever since the Die Hard star was diagnosed with a condition that affects one’s ability to communicate, the world fell silent. His family provided him with extreme support and has been updating his fans of Bruce’s condition regularly.

Bruce withdrew from from the spotlight, and later on, he was diagnosed with a more specific condition; frontotemporal dementia.

“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” his daughter Rumer Willis posted on the social media.

“In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.

“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).”

As Bruce’s wife, ex-wife, and his daughters were as well affected by his illness, his daughter Tallulah, whom the actor shares with Demi Moore, is experiencing issues with her mental health and they get worse as her father’s health condition worsens.

Tallulah spoke openly of her anorexia after she was dumped by her fiancè Dillon Buss less than three months after her father’s aphasia diagnosis.

As per reports, Bruce is being aware of his daughter’s suffering.

“Bruce could see her wasting away and it only made his own problems worse,” a source said, as reported by Radar.

“Bruce was shattered when he saw Tallulah’s suffering,” the insider went on.

“It got to the point where the family thought it would be better if they weren’t around each other at all.”

Tallulah has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after she checked into an in-patient facility following the breakup.

In the essay she penned for Vogue Magazine, Tallulah explained that her struggles with body dysmorphia began when she started taking medication for ADHD.

“I felt smart for the first time,” Tallulah said of taking her medication, “but I also started to enjoy the appetite-​suppressant side effect of the meds. I saw a way to banish the awkward adolescent in favor of a flighty little pixie. And like so many people with eating disorders, my sense of myself went haywire.

“There’s an unhealthy deliciousness at the beginning of losing weight rapidly. People are like, ‘Oh wow!’ And then quickly it turns to, ‘Are you okay?’ My friends and family were terrified, and I dismissed it.”

The 29-year-old added: “By the spring of 2022, I weighed about 84 lbs. I was always freezing. I was calling mobile IV teams to come to my house, and I couldn’t walk in my Los Angeles neighborhood because I was afraid of not having a place to sit down and catch my breath.”

We truly hope Tallulah would be able to overcome her health issues.

Carol, oh Carol! The 1969 movie Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice explored the topics of faithfulness and honesty in marriage, and at the conclusion it showed a more free-spirited couple trying to switch wives with their more traditional friends. The stakes suddenly seem a little higher when you learn that Natalie Wood, the sexy woman in a paisley bikini, is involved. Wood portrayed Carol, a woman who had made up her mind to tell her husband Bob (Robert Culp) everything, even about their extramarital affairs. Ted (Elliott Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon) weren’t too fond of the concept, but Alice demands to switch partners in one of those real-life movie-world intellectual exchanges. It works for a little while before failing.
